Twelve Tales Lie, One Tells True — Maria Alexander

Twelve Tales Lie | One Tells True brings together 13 tales of the fantastic and fearsome by award-winning author Maria Alexander.

WARNING: This is not your typical horror short story collection. While twelve of the tales are fictitious, one is a creepy true story sure to amuse and alarm even die-hard horror fans. Guessing which one is half the skin-crawling fun.

Is it the man who resurrects his abusive father for revenge that goes awry? The woman who brings home a birthday balloon inflated with hellion instead of helium? Or the couple that accidentally buys a home sitting at The Crossroads, where the "H" in "HOA" has a whole new meaning...?

As Neil Gaiman once said: "Fiction is the lie that tells the truth, after all." Read on and decide for yourself.
